anyone use linoleum for substrate?

i decided to switch from newspaper to linoleum for my geckos because i was getting tired of changing papers and having it accumulate and having my little girl tear it up(she really loves paper and will do anything to get to it). i have found that i don't need the ceramic heater because i now get the temps in the 90-93 range with just the uth. does anyone else use it and what do you think of it? i like it because it's much easier for me to clean and the food has no real place to hide and makes it easier for the guys and gals to eat.

that all really depends......if you have an uth...or a high watt lamp or small incloser...you would think linolime would crack or roll and that not good ....
the glues toxic..........just like anything else do your research.....and choose whats best for you but for leos it might be possable..but beardys i wouldnt think of trying this with a basking lamp....lol

I don't know if linoleum tile works the same way......but I've used self adhesive vinyl tiles for probably over 2 years and never had any problems with it.

I use vinyl tiles in my savanah cage. It works great, the beardie has ceramic tiles and the leos and snakes have paper towel. I will be switching them all to slate soon
